This is just a great looking stock.
Strengths: PE, PEG, Price to Sales, Price to Book, Operating Profit Margin, Net Profit Margin and all projected growth numbers are in the top segements of the space
Weakness: No regular dividends
I am willing to overlook my usual dividend requirements here and give it a go.

These dollar stores are due for a slow-down and I think that FDO's miss today is just the beginning for these names.

Stores are popping up in small communities that have few buying choices and not much competition. As gas prices increase, more will shop at DG.

With more insecurities piling onto the American family, somethings that where once 2nd nature to buy, have been put on the short list due to the instability in today's government. If DG can continue selling item's like toilet paper and paper towels at low rates it will do just fine.

In this economy people have to find the best prices. Dollar stores are busy. People who are decreasing their expenditures will spend money here. They will get more for their money. My mom and sister-in-law love to shop here. Dollar General will do well in a down turn economy.

Non-technical analysis from me is based on what I see. They've saturated the market ( I can't go 3 blocks in any direction without running into one of them), and they just reopened their stores after doing a four-day extensive remodel / upgrade to their local stores. They're making a major push.

No doubt will outperform. Buffet is bullish on it & with today's uncertainty & terrible economy people need to spread their money as far as it can go.

One area of concern is Dollar General's razor thin profit margins. Whereas 70% of Dollar General
revenue come from low profit margin consumables, its rivals are substantially less reliant on
these items. Consumables account for only 50-60% of overall revenue at typical dollar stores. In
order for Dollar General to expand its earnings growth it will need to refocus its efforts on non-
consumables that carry higher profit margins. This will not be an easy ordeal.
On the supply side, there is little room for reducing the cost of stocking its stores. In the past
Dollar General has been able to offer many of its products at rock bottom prices because it
has purchased its products directly and indirectly from the cheapest Chinese sweatshops. Our
independent research at China Labor Watch, a New York based non-profit NGO, has uncovered
the most heinous sweatshop conditions in Dollar General's supply chain. Conditions are far worse
than any of the other major discounters. In our most recent report on the Dollar General suppliers
we looked at four confirmed Dollar General factories to assess labor conditions. We uncovered
numerous violations at these factories including safety hazards and wages that do not meet the
minimum legal standards according to even Chinese laws.
In our research we found that workers often labor hours beyond the legal limits, were
compensated a base pay of $0.74-0.80 an hour with overtime pay that in some cases did not meet
the minimum wage requirements by Chinese law. We see three major risks to Dollar General's
current supply chain. First, we anticipate a stronger Chinese currency and second, increased labor
cost and less tolerance for sweat shop conditions by its labor force. Third, with such heinous
violations of labor rights in their sweatshop suppliers and Dollar General's reluctance to work with
suppliers to improve their labor conditions, what damage will this have to its reputation? If Dollar
General's source of cheap Chinese goods going forward is unsustainable, how will this effect its
already razor thin profit margins?
